Man dead and 10 people injured in Brisbane park brawl
A person has died after being wounded during a mass brawl involving two groups of people at a park in Brisbane's north.
Queensland Police have confirmed one death and multiple injuries resulted from the altercation on Sunday afternoon at O'Callaghan Park in Zillmere.
Details of the deceased and the weapon involved are not yet known.
It's believed one of the groups was sitting in the park when the other group arrived and the altercation was sparked.
Some of the people involved are believed to have fled the scene when police arrived.
A Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman confirmed multiple patients had been transported to hospital and a crime scene had been established.
Police responded to the physical disturbance between the two groups of people at 5.30pm and arrived to find several people had sustained injuries.
A man in his 20s died at the scene, while 10 others are being treated in hospital for various injuries.

Police said a crime scene had been declared and investigations were ongoing.
Sunday’s altercation was believed to be in retaliation to another incident early last week with bats and knives used as the man ultimately died from stab wounds, Nine reported.
Another fight reportedly broke out outside the Royal Brisbane Hospital among members of the injured people’s families.
Two people remain in critical conditions in hospital as police work to track down who was responsible for the killing.
Detective Superintendent Tony Fleming has since labelled the behaviour unnecessary.
“None of that behaviour is helpful to those who have been injured, nor to others that are using the hospital,” he told Nine.
